I am passionate about helping teens, young adults, and families navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationships, trauma, and life transitions. Many individuals I work with are looking for coping skills to help manage life stressors and are looking to understand the patterns of their behaviors and to create change. Individuals are often looking for skills to improve emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. I often see my clients wanting to improve their self-esteem and self-compassion as well, as their negative self-talk can be overwhelming.
My goal is to create an environment that is understanding & empowering by using humor and gentle, yet direct, challenges to help build autonomy, confidence, and create healthier relationships. By combining holistic and evidence-based approaches, I can help individuals identify unhelpful patterns in their lives and then teach them skills to integrate change.
Being a teenager or young adult can often feel overwhelming and isolating. Sometimes, it feels as if no one else understands who you are and where you are coming from. Parents, it might feel just as overwhelming for you as you are doing your best to support your teens. Know you are not alone. Reach out today for some extra support.
